Apostle of the Gods

159 Sunset

I thank Gemma for giving me a snack for my subordinate.

"Gemma Sensei. Thank you very much."

"Thank you very much.Will, full. I gave up cleaning up during the camp. "

Gemma is feeding her meat with a full hug.

"I'm glad I could help."

"Pii"

"Thank you for the full snack."

"Oh, thank you for being so clean.Thank you, Full. "

That's how you gently stroke the full.

Like Alti, she might like something cute.

"By the way, Will. According to the entrance exam records, there were two subordinates."

"That's right. The entrance exam was only full and the dog who wasn't here, Lunlun."

"Hmm. So since you enrolled in school, have you subordinated the Goat, the Dragon Son, and the Spirit?

"Strictly speaking, I'm not a follower, but it's true that I made friends with you."

"... Hmm.Aren't you a subordinate?

"Yes"

It is not easy to say that he is not a subordinate, but a family of God.

But I didn't like lying, so I just said yes.

Hmm, I see.

Gemma realized I didn't want to go into the details.

"Normally, two good servants are at their limit, but they're out of standard."

"Thank you."

Without asking for further explanations, Gemma finished her story.

Because I'm Milt's apprentice, you think Milt will tell you if you need information.

After that, I spend some time preparing dinner.

Treat the meat of the demon pig that was defeated along the way, bake it, and store it in a magic bag.

This way, you can always eat delicious yakiniku without getting cold.

In the meantime, both I and Rubeum were watching the area carefully, but it seemed that there were no church assassins.

The assistant who might have been on our team disappeared somewhere after confirming our arrival at the base camp.

I guess I got back to watching the other squads from behind.

Gemma occasionally uses magic tools to get in touch.

Judging by the expression, it seemed that there was no particular problem.

So don't worry, we'll just relax.

Playing with Shiro, Rubeum, Phee and Full and eating snacks, the sun began to set.

The clouds are getting suspicious.

Rosetta looks up at the darkening sky.

"If it rained on me yesterday, I'd be in trouble."

"Will's right.I hope we arrived at the base camp..... "

Rosetta seems worried about the others.

"Well, basically, it's fine.It also tells me what to do when it rains. "

Gemma says that to reassure us.

"Besides, I go out of my way to stay in a rainy season."

Really?

"Ah, if you upgrade, there will be snow, lightning, and storm shelter."

I'm looking forward to that.

"Will, don't say anything you don't have in mind.I'm not going to participate anyway. "

It's up to you, Master.

I guess so.

And Gemma looks in the direction that the students would be.

"In the end, the only group of direct apprentices who came back by sunset?"

"Feeling late?

"No, I've heard that once every few years, there's a team that can come back by sunset."

"How long do you think you'll be back?

About noon tomorrow.

Apparently, it often rains at this time of year after sunset.

So many of the students stay in the wilderness as an emergency evacuation.

It is dangerous to walk around nauseously at night and in the rain.

And when the sun rises, the students move.

As a result, the arrival at the base camp is after noon.

And while stroking the rubeum, I figured out when there would be an assault.

In these times, it is important to think from the enemy's perspective.

The enemy's aim is to kill Gemma.

To do this, you want to target your students and create a situation where Gemma can't fight with all her might.

So the point is when Gemma can't do her best.

The largest number of students with tight feet is when all of them return.

But by then, in addition to Gemma, two teachers and five assistants had returned.

When I think about it, after sunset.Perhaps the most effective time for students to camp and fall asleep.

Even if Gemma rushes to contact us that they have been raided, it will take longer after sunset.

By the time Gemma gets there, it will be easier to build an advantage.

When I was seriously thinking about it, Gemma noticed how I was doing and called out.

"Will, what's bothering you?

"Of course there is.About the case. "

"I understand Will's concerns.I'm sure you're in a bad time. "

"Yes, because if it rains after sunset, you'll be in the back."

Darkness hides, rain hides sounds and smells, and signs.

"You might want to scold me for a start."

That's how I gently stroked the rubeum.
